What is recoverable spend?

Recoverable spend is the portion of AI cost you can reclaim without losing capability — unused seats, underused licenses, tool overlap, and renewal overpayments. It is the target an audit sets and then tracks to banked savings. Spendassay surfaces 10 to 15% of seat and subscription spend as recoverable within 30 days and tracks the recovery.

Every figure Spendassay publishes about recoverable spend carries a proof level saying how much guessing sits behind it, and opens to show the rows it was computed from. The full method is on the methodology page.
